Salzburg newspaper's 16-word description of Jurgen Klopp will delight Liverpool fans

Liverpool may be the enemy for Salzburg tonight but it seems the local press are unable to hide their admiration for the man planning to end their dreams.

The Reds need a point to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League but their opponents must win if they are to progress.

The previous fixture between the two sides at Anfield was a 4-3 thriller with Liverpool taking an early 3-0 lead only to be pegged back by the Austrian side in the second half.

Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal for Jurgen Klopp 's team but Salzburg earned many plaudits for their performance.

However, it's the German manager who seems to be at the centre of attention in the Austrian press.

Newspaper Kurier was full of praise for Klopp and provided this description:

"A tactical fox, football revolutionary, a man who understands people, an advertising star and an eccentric."

The paper also claims the game could be Klopp's 'waterloo'. They're presumably expecting a battle in Salzburg and Klopp will be hoping it's the tactical fox who comes off best.
